I build production AI systems and teach software engineers to do the same.Every week I create real AI systems and automations that save time, save money, and increase leverage. Then I show you exactly how I built them. Complete code. Deployed to production. No theory.I've spent 20 years building software systems and leading engineering teams. Now I'm focused on applied AI - building systems that solve real problems and teaching others to do the same.I run two things:AI Engineer - A community where professional software engineers learn production AI through weekly live builds, code reviews, and hands-on projects. We build together: RAG pipelines, autonomous agents, automations.Leverage AI - Custom AI development for businesses when off-the-shelf tools aren't enough. AI systems, intelligent workflows, and automations that scale your business operations.📩 Get my free weekly newsletter: newsletter.owainlewis.com👥 Join the community: skool.com/aiengineer💼 Work with me directly: leverageai.co

I’m full of passion and energy. I push myself to be the best and think clearly and pragmatically. I’m best at getting projects off the ground and working under pressure, and I’m not shy about acting on initiative. I’m good with technology and appreciate excellent design, so I fit in well with designers and developers alike. I love the process of creation and I’ve always got a project on the go. I’m eager to learn and happy to teach.
